Never give up

Craig

Today was a special day for me.

I went back to my first spin and yoga class since my bicycle accident last summer.

It felt awesome to ride a spin bike and sweat for 45 minutes.

After five months of not exercising, I had gained weight and have become somewhat saggy.

But the human body is really amazing.

Muscles actually remember what it’s like to exercise after many months of not exercising.

It’s a term called Muscle memory.

It was hard to return to doing pushups, squats and curls after such a long time away.

But since I made a promise to change my life 10 years ago, staying healthy and fit is a top priority in my life and will continue to be.

Back in the Saddle

It’s been 10 weeks since I fell off my bicycle and injured myself.

It has not been fun sitting alone with an ice pack on my my leg lump for 90 days, taking stitz baths and going to sleep every night at 8pm.

Healing process has been painfully slow.

At times I wondered whether I was even getting better.

I would never have thought that falling off a bicycle could cause such a serious injury, but it did.

After three months, I have finally turned the corner and starting to get and feel better.

As crazy as it sounds, I have become healthier and fitter during the time I have taken off from yoga, circuit training, working out and spin classes.

Being healthy has helped to have a faster injury recovery time.

I’m looking forward to returning to my exercise schedule and getting on with my life.
